Last night on Jeopardy, Alex Trebek was handed a blank card when it came time to ask a question to contestant Michael Pascuzzi about himself. Turns out the reason why is because Pascuzzi had a question for his girlfriend Maria Shafer. The ultimate question.
What did she say, “What is yes!”
This morning she was on Mix 105.1 and told them how it all went down. Pascuzzi had no idea he was going to do it until about 10 minutes beforehand. He was talking to the contestants in the green room and they said it would be a great idea. Then they ran it by the host, who was also on board. When the big moment came, Shaffer had no idea he was going to do it. It was a nice surprise!
Only problem is that the betrothed couple had to keep this exciting news a secret for two months. That is right, they could not tell anyone they were engaged until last night. To see how their friends and family reacted to seeing it live on TV yesterday, then click here!
Today, on Jeopardy they wanted to see how well the contestants know the Freddie Mercury and Queen. Two out of three of them do not the band as well as Vincent. Which is sad because they were easy questions. But who cares because it is fun they were represented!
Gal Gadot became a world wide sensation when she put on Wonder Woman’s costume, but did you know that she had a long career in Hollywood way before then. Enough of one that Jeopardy gave her her own a category and me a week of Before They Were Famous.
How does she feel about the rare honor? She wrote, “A whole category?!🤯 Omg I can’t belive it, I love this show! Never thought I’d hear Gal Gadot for $600 and be so pleased! 😂😜”
How well do you know the Israeli beauty? Press play to find out. I knew the answers, but not that she was a part of any of those movies and TV shows. Let me know who well you do.
I do not know about you, but I very rarely can master a whole category on Jeopardy. I have filled my brain with so much useless information, but it never seems to be what they are asking for on the game show.
That is until they added the Celebrity Possessives category. For example, they will ask something like the real name of The Rock with another name for the male anatomy, so the answer would be Dwayne’s Johnson. See pretty simple. Think you can master it like I did? Then press play and see if you are as good as Michelle and I at it!
Jeopardy decided to have some fun with two categories that don’t necessarily go together. They are math and music. The category is called Band Math and they will ask the contestants something like Blink’s number minus the number of Haircuts this band gives. That would 182 minus 100 which equals 82.
Now that you got the hang of it, try it for yourself! I was just so excited that I finally got the $2,000 answer correct! I never get that one. Not only did I know the band’s numbers, I was also able to do the math in my head. Which is probably why I have such a big headache right about now.
